What can I cover it with to make it attractive again. It will need to be something that can be cut around many light fixtures. Mirror looks like a large makeup mirror. Mirror is set in tile and can't be removed.

Clean the rust with CLR and an old toothbrush! Should fix you right up! -

The mirror has a thin layer of copper and it's the steel underneath that's rusting. Use silver polish to clean up. You can get copper paint (it's got fine copper in the clear paint solution) at a good art store or order it on-line. Dab in the spot. Then use a brush on poly to cover entire copper. Good luck. -

I would polish the rust out (automotive 'compound' or 'metal-glo' brand metal polish) (a fine emery board can be used if it's really bad)what to cover it with? since it's a damp environment, I would opt for spray paint - a light coat of a gold paint would hide the imperfections and protect the metal, more coats would be needed to change the color or do a decorative finish (I am always thinking of ways to get that verdigris-green into my decor, I love it) -
